Cypress Sun Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 You can find your Public Profile by simply clicking on your alias. The next screen that comes up is your Public Profile on the left in the smaller column with your most recent posts in the larger middle/right column. Some people have their E-Mail address and more in the left column under Contact Methods. It is easy to edit out info by going to the top left side of the page and clicking on Edit Profile. Anyone can click on your alias and view the same information, they don't have to be SASS members. This one way the scammers are getting personal info. Also note that some folks have posted their phone number, E-mail and addresses in the large column under "Write a public message on your own feed" box. When you use this option, you are NOT sending a PM...you are publicly posting a statement/message that anyone can read simply by clicking on your alias...the same way they get your other information. Stay safe out there in internet land. NEVER, EVER post your real name, phone number, E-mail address or physical address in a public manner. To do so only invites the bad guys to breakfast, lunch and dinner. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Scanning through random posts on the Classified Wire, I found where folks have posted their PayPal info, pictures of shipping labels with names and addresses, and posts with your names, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please remember that this is a public forum and scammers can read it without becoming Wire Members, and sometimes scammers become Wire Members, too. For private information, use Private Messaging!

BTT I only looked at a few random aliases. Amazing the info that people put out there. It's not just the Classifieds, it's everyone that is registered on the SASS Forums that may have their info publicly posted.
